Chapter 1001: Void and Wrongdoing
Bao Feiyang stayed in South Korea for three days, plus the two days of arrival and departure, a total of five days. In the past few days, he visited a number of Korean companies and had very in-depth communication with several of them.
At the airport, Bao Feiyang accidentally met Lu Dingyi, the executive deputy mayor of Tongcheng City, who returned to China on the same plane, originally Bao Feiyang bought an ordinary seat, Lu Dingyi was a first-class cabin, and the two couldn't meet together, but Lu Dingyi was followed by a group, except for Lu Dingyi and Cheng Hailong, deputy director of the Tongcheng City Government Office, who accompanied him, the others also sat in ordinary cabins, and Bao Feiyang was recognized in the waiting room.
Bao Feiyang didn't plan to meet Lu Dingyi, but Lu Dingyi walked over from the first-class waiting room, and stretched out his hand to Bao Feiyang from afar to greet him with a smile: "Director Bao, I didn't expect you to be in South Korea in the past two days, let alone that we would take the same flight." ”
"Yes, Mayor Lu." Bao Feiyang held Lu Dingyi's hand and smiled: "It's really a coincidence." ”
Of course, Bao Feiyang didn't believe that Lu Dingyi didn't know that he was in South Korea, after all, he had already met with Shen Renbiao before, and Bao Feiyang believed that the second ancestor of the Korean Shanshui Company would definitely not give up this opportunity to put pressure on Lu Dingyi to fight for better investment conditions in Tongcheng.
Therefore, it is certain that South Korea's ⊕≦ Shanshui Company has definitely revealed the news to Lu Dingyi, and Lu Dingyi should of course know very well that Bao Feiyang knows that he is in South Korea. However, it is very common for everyone to act on the scene and pretend to be deaf and dumb in the officialdom, since Lu Dingyi is bent on pretending to be confused, Bao Feiyang will naturally not be stupid enough to expose it in person.
Warmly shook hands with Bao Feiyang and greeted him for a long time, and then Lu Dingyi smiled and said the topic: "Director Bao, why did I come to South Korea, you also know why I came." This time I was originally going to Japan's Kawasaki Group shipyard for inspection, and Huayuan Kawasaki Shipbuilding Project is currently the largest joint venture shipbuilding project in Jiangbei Province. Huayuan Kawasaki Shipyard is expected to be officially completed by the end of the year, which means that the shipbuilding industry in Tongcheng will also enter a new stage. ”
"Then I want to congratulate Mayor Lu in advance, you have another old hen that can lay golden eggs in the Tongcheng area!" Bao Feiyang saw that Lu Dingyi had a smug look on his face, so he naturally didn't bother with him, and complimented him just right.
"Hehe, thank you, Director Bao. On the day when Huayuan Kawasaki Shipyard is officially put into operation, you must give me a few thin noodles and come to our city to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony! ”
"With your invitation from Mayor Lu, do I dare not go?" Bao Feiyang replied with a smile, waiting for Lu Dingyi to continue. He didn't believe that Lu Dingyi deliberately came to see him from the business class, just to talk to him about the Huayuan Kawasaki shipbuilding project.
Sure enough, Lu Dingyi continued to speak.
"This time, I led a delegation to Japan, and in addition to inspecting the shipyard of the Kawasaki Group in Japan, we also had contact with several other shipyards and supporting factories in Japan. These enterprises are very interested in investing in the Tongcheng area and jointly participating in the construction of the shipbuilding industry base that we Jiangbei Province wants to focus on, and several companies have decided to visit the Tongcheng area to inspect the construction of the shipbuilding industry base in our Tongcheng area. ”
"Then congratulations to Mayor Lu, you have a few more old hens that lay golden eggs in the Tongcheng area!" Bao Feiyang said with a smile. Of course, he knew that Lu Dingyi was bragging, and since he couldn't expose it to his face, all that was left was compliments.
Since Bao Feiyang has decided to build a shipbuilding base of more than 10,000 tons in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, it is impossible not to study the shipbuilding enterprises of Japan, a major shipbuilding country. So he knew that there was obviously a lot of water in Lu Dingyi's words.
You must know that shipbuilding is not the same as traditional labor-intensive industries. The shipbuilding industry is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. Moreover, it is also a strategic industry, the Japanese have been very cautious in the transfer of this industry, and the Huayuan Kawasaki shipbuilding project is just one of the special cases, whether it is for China or Japan, and it is basically impossible to copy the special case of the Huayuan Kawasaki shipbuilding project. This is exactly what happened, as Bao Feiyang knew in his previous life. After the Sino-Japanese joint venture Huayuan Kawasaki shipbuilding project, not to mention the Tongcheng area, even in mainland China, there has never been a joint venture shipyard with equal equity between China and Japan, and there are no other companies in Japan to build large-scale shipyards in mainland China. Of course, China's shipbuilding industry is developing rapidly and the market is huge. In order to occupy the market, there are still many Japanese-funded shipyards that have established supporting factories in China after entering the year 2000. However, the supporting plant is only a supporting factory, although it has also stimulated the development of China's shipbuilding industry, but the effect is far from being comparable with that of large shipyards.
"Hehe, it's just a preliminary investigation, and there is still a long way to go whether it can be transformed into industrial investment in our Tongcheng area. Director Bao, you're here too early! Lu Dingyi said half-truthfully.
"Mayor Lu, with the good investment environment in your Tongcheng area, coupled with your Mayor Lu's ability, since the Japanese shipbuilding companies have agreed to visit the Tongcheng area, can they still fly out of the palm of your hand? Transformed into real industrial investment, it must be nine out of ten! Bao Feiyang said with a smile.
"Then borrow your auspicious words from Director Bao!" Lu Dingyi opened his eyes and said nonsense, "If you can really leave one or two Japanese shipbuilding projects at that time, I will definitely invite you to our Tongcheng area, and we will have a good drink without getting drunk." ”
After a pause, Lu Dingyi said: "After leaving Japan, we passed through South Korea and made a special trip to visit several shipyards in the Fukuyama area. Director Bao, of course, you know that South Korea's shipbuilding industry has basically developed in the footsteps of Japan. Therefore, when several Korean shipyards in the Fukusan area heard that Japanese shipyards were going to invest in Tongcheng, they were also very interested in our plan to build a shipbuilding industrial base in the Tongcheng area, and several shipyards also showed that they had a very strong investment in our Tongcheng area. ”
Bao Feiyang knew that Lu Dingyi was even more staring! Not to mention that South Korean shipbuilders are more stubborn than the Japanese in terms of capacity transfer, just from the perspective of Japan-South Korea relations, due to historical contradictions, South Korean companies usually do not gather in places where there are many Japanese companies, let alone follow the footsteps of Japanese companies to invest.
"Yes, then I have to congratulate you in the Tongcheng area and Mayor Lu, in many aspects, including the shipbuilding industry. The Tongcheng area is the big brother of our Jiangbei Province, and there are many things worth learning from us. Bao Feiyang said perfunctorily.
Lu Dingyi smiled reservedly, as if he suddenly thought of something: "Oh, by the way, didn't you also talk about a South Korean joint venture shipbuilding project in Haizhou last time, and you promised Secretary General Cheng Huayan at the beginning." If you want to introduce Korean shipbuilding companies to our Tongcheng area, Director Bao, did you come to South Korea this time to do this? If this is really the case, I would like to thank you Director Bao for the more than 6 million people in the same city! ”
"Shame shame!" Bao Feiyang shook his head and said, "Mayor Lu, I really didn't come to South Korea this time for this matter, I came to South Korea for other things. ”
"Oh, it seems that Director Bao, you have a new move. Can you tell us what kind of big project it is this time? Lu Dingyi asked with a smile.
"Costume items." Bao Feiyang said with a smile: "Speaking of this, I remembered it. Two days ago, I also attended a fashion cocktail party because of the clothing project. At the reception, I met the executive director of South Korea's Shanshui Group, Shen Renbiao, who proposed to revise the investment agreement originally negotiated to our Haizhou area, and I thought of promising Mayor Lu in front of Secretary-General Cheng Huayan that you would introduce Shanshui Group to your Tongcheng area, so I did not agree to agree to Shen Renbiao's proposal to modify the investment agreement, so as to give you a better opportunity to create a better opportunity in the Tongcheng area. Originally, I wanted to report the situation to Mayor Lu after I returned to China. Let you Tongcheng area seize the time to contact South Korea Shanshui Group to see. Now it seems that Mayor Lu, you have already been to the Fushan area. I must have been in contact with the Korean Shanshui Group, but my previous consideration did not seem to be that necessary. ”
"Director Bao, thank you so much!" Lu Dingyi didn't expect Bao Feiyang to take the initiative to mention the meeting with Shen Renbiao, the executive director of South Korea's Shanshui Group, so he was a little surprised, but on the surface, he was quiet, and said sincerely: "Originally." I also want to wait for Director Bao to introduce us to the Korea Shanshui Group, but this time I happened to stop by to South Korea to investigate, and met the chairman of the South Korea Shanshui Group and the executive director of the South Korean Shanshui Group in the Fushan area. Especially Executive Shen, his attitude is particularly clear, I thought it was Executive Shen who took a high look at our Tongcheng area, it turned out that Director Bao had done his work in private! Thank you, thank you, Director Bao, you are always concerned about the shipbuilding industry in our Tongcheng area! I will definitely report this matter to the Secretary-General and ask him to make a special report to Governor Hong. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, if the officials of other brother cities in Jiangbei Province can be as broad-minded as Director Bao! ”
After the new governor Hong Ximing took office, he proposed to build the Tongcheng area into a shipbuilding base, and intended to let the Haizhou area transfer the joint venture shipbuilding project of the South Korean Shanshui Group to the Tongcheng area, Lu Dingyi also came forward to invite Xue Shaohua, Bao Feiyang, secretary of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, Bao Feiyang and others to dinner, and Bao Feiyang also promised to introduce the South Korean Shanshui Group to the Tongcheng area. It's just that Bao Feiyang didn't expect that Lu Dingyi would be so impatient to go to the Fushan area of South Korea to negotiate with the Korean Shanshui Group in person, didn't this obviously give the Korean Shanshui Group a chance to rip off the bamboo? It's just that this kind of stupid behavior of sending people to the door to be the boss of the wrongs is not only Lu Dingyi in front of him, but also many officials in other parts of the country are also very enthusiastic, Bao Feiyang really doesn't know what these people think in their hearts. Is it really worth paying such a huge sacrifice to investors for the sake of the so-called investment promotion performance?
Of course, Bao Feiyang had no intention of dwelling on Lu Dingyi on this issue, he smiled and said: "Hehe, Mayor Lu, it's not that I'm broad-minded, you also know that our Haizhou area has been in contact with the South Korean Shanshui Group before, and they have basically negotiated, just waiting for the South Korean Shanshui Group to complete the acquisition of Dadong Shipyard, they will send someone to the Haizhou area to officially sign a contract with us." It's just that since Secretary-General Cheng has opened his mouth, let us do the work in the Haizhou area, and introduce the Korean Shanshui Group to your Tongcheng area for inspection, I naturally have to keep this matter in mind all the time! ”
"Originally, I came to South Korea this time, I wanted to wait for the clothing project to be negotiated, and I went to the Fushan area to find the people of the Korean Shanshui Group, and they went to the Tongcheng area to investigate, but I didn't expect to meet the executive director of Shanshui Group at the fashion cocktail party two days ago, and I didn't expect that the executive director of Shen Renbiao suddenly proposed to renegotiate some details. Because I kept in mind my promise to Secretary-General Cheng and Mayor Lu, I naturally could not accede to Executive Shin Renbiao's request for renegotiation. The purpose of this is to create a better negotiation environment for your Tongcheng area. That's right, here's it. Mayor Lu, I think of one thing, at that time, Executive Director Shen Renbiao said that there are other places in Jiangbei Province that will provide more favorable investment conditions for their joint venture shipbuilding projects of Shanshui Group. The place that Shen Renbiao said would provide more favorable investment conditions and policies to the Korean Shanshui Group was your Tongcheng area? ”
"There is such a thing?" Lu Dingyi showed a surprised expression and said bitterly: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know that you came to South Korea, if I had known, I would have communicated with you in advance, and we have a unified voice and have been external." Now let the Korean Shanshui Group take advantage of the loophole, it is really sad! Director Bao, please apologize to Secretary Xue and Mayor Chen on my behalf after you return to China. I really didn't propose more favorable investment conditions to the South Korean Shanshui Group in order to grab the project with you in Haizhou. This is because the communication channel is not smooth, resulting in a misunderstanding! ”
Seeing that although Lu Dingyi looked distressed, but the corners of the mouths of the shallow officials behind him couldn't suppress the smiles, Bao Feiyang certainly didn't believe that Lu Dingyi would really have any apologies, as for poor communication, it was even more nonsense. Since Lu Dingyi knew that the South Korean Shanshui Group was talking about cooperation projects with the Haizhou area before, if it was really for smooth communication, then he came to the Fushan area of South Korea to meet the South Korean Shanshui Group this time. You should say hello to the Haizhou area in advance, so that you can truly achieve a unified voice between the two sides!
"It doesn't matter. Mayor Lu, I don't think there's any need to apologize, fair play! If South Korea's Shanshui Group thinks that the investment conditions in the Tongcheng area are better, it is also a good thing, at least the project is still in our Jiangbei Province. Bao Feiyang smiled and said, since Lu Dingyi deliberately performed. He was happy to be with him.
"Okay, Director Bao, your words have a big picture." Lu Dingyi stretched out his hand and patted Bao Feiyang's arm, and said a little old-fashionedly: "Then so be it, let's not compete viciously, no matter where the Korean Shanshui Company finally decides where the project will fall." It's all in our Jiangbei Province, and the so-called meat is rotten in the pot! Our Tongcheng area and Haizhou area are sister cities, we must unite and work together to develop and develop hand in hand! ”
After saying a few more words, Lu Dingyi found a reason to leave, he came to make the topic clear this time, just to confirm that his contact with the South Korean Shanshui Group was accidental, not planned, Tongcheng did not want to dig the corner of the Haizhou area, it was just an accident and coincidence.
At the same time, Lu Dingyi also wanted to talk to Bao Feiyang, so that Bao Feiyang would admit that the Tongcheng area and the Haizhou area were fair competition, and in the end, no matter where the project was settled, the other party could not have any opinions.
It seems that Lu Dingyi is full of confidence in the project of South Korea's Shanshui Group to settle in the Tongcheng area, which is not surprising, after all, the shipbuilding industry in the Tongcheng area has a better foundation, and even the world's top shipbuilding giants such as Japan's Kawasaki Shipbuilding are investing in the Tongcheng area, so Lu Dingyi believes that it is normal for South Korea's Shanshui Group to finally choose to invest in the Tongcheng area.
Bao Feiyang didn't bring anyone else with him when he came to South Korea this time, and he was also alone when he went back, after Lu Dingyi left, some people came over to be close to Bao Feiyang, but soon it was time to board the plane, and after boarding, Bao Feiyang saw that his position was a little far away from a few people in Tongcheng, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After being with Lu Dingyi and the snake for so long, Bao Feiyang felt that his face was a little sour, and he really didn't have the mood to fight with the people below Lu Dingyi anymore.
*
South Korea did not have a direct flight to Haizhou, Bao Feiyang and Lu Dingyi and others took a direct flight to Fenghu, after the plane landed at Fenghu Airport, did not bring any large luggage, a relaxed Bao Feiyang said hello to Lu Dingyi, and walked directly to the exit.
Bao Feiyang did not arrange for someone to come to the airport to pick him up, he walked out of the exit, queued up at the taxi aisle to hail a taxi, and drove directly to the city.
As soon as the car entered the city, Bao Feiyang received a call from the general office of the provincial government, informing him that there would be a symposium on investment promotion and industrial development in the province tomorrow, saying that Bao Feiyang would stop by if he was in the provincial capital. Obviously, the news that Bao Feiyang had just arrived by plane had been revealed by Lu Dingyi to Cheng Huayan, the secretary general of the provincial government, so the general office of the provincial government would make this call to Bao Feiyang so accurately. What else can Bao Feiyang say? I can only nod my head and agree.
Bao Feiyang stayed in the provincial capital for two days to handle other matters - in fact, it was the failure of nearly 10,000 acres of wheat in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, which had caused a lot of uproar...... (To be continued......)
